In a sentence

もうalreadyいえhomeかえる帰るgo home

I'm going home now

How it works

The whole sentence is casual and plain — no polite ます (polite) ending, so it sounds like something you'd say to a friend. もう (already) comes first to set the timing ("it's already time to…"). (to) marks いえ (home) as the destination you're heading toward, and the verb 帰るかえる (go home) lands at the very end in its dictionary form, where Japanese verbs always sit.
